My Own Capacity

• Which issues impacting young children and their families and/or the field of early childhood fuel your passion?

 

The biggest issue that fuels me to be an early childhood professional is that not many people think preschool is a big deal. They think that their child is ready for kindergarten because they know their ABC's. I want to get the word our their that it is very important for a child to go to preschool. Another issue is there are not many people into early childhood. Its my passion and I want to be there for the children. I am so excited where I am at I get to train high schools students and now I am going to start having college students in my classroom. I cannot wait to share my knowledge to students who may possible have the same passion as me. 

• What special skills do you have that will contribute to your advocacy efforts? How will you incorporate these skills into your work?

I feel that I have the skill of patience. I will incorporate this in my work because you have to have patience in order to get anywhere. Things are not going to happen right away. 

• What resources do you have at your disposal that can benefit your advocacy work?

I cannot think of any resources that I have right off hand besides other professionals in my community.

• What knowledge, skills, dispositions, and/or talents do you possess that will contribute to your advocacy work?

I also am very outgoing, People are more likely to listen to someone who is outgoing rather then someone is monotone. 

• In what ways do you hope to grow in order to be a more effective advocate?

I hope to grow in many ways, There is not one subject that I need to increase my knowledge on. I am always looking for conferences to attend because I know that those will all help me to become a better early childhood professional.
